Maker's bio

I have been turning wood since just before the end of the last century. I have been demonstrating turning at home and overseas for 20 years and teaching it for over 15 years. I have written many articles for the woodturning press and for the web. In 2011 I was awarded the Tony Boase Tribute award at the AWGB international seminar. I am an AWGB approved tutor and a tutor assessor. My aim is to provide you with the knowledge and techniques to take your woodturning to the next level and I teach all levels from complete beginners to experts.

Andrew Ingham reviewed: Woodturning half day taster

"A great experience. Paul is highly knowledgable and communicates his instructions in as simple a way as possible. I had a whale of a time trying to shape the vase so it looked one. Thanks Paul for ensuring that I left with something that looked fabulous. The family were all impressed with what I brought home. Definitely coming back for another course!"

Paul Hannaby Creative Woodturning responded:

"Thanks Andrew. I'm glad you enjoyed the session."

Chris Sharrock reviewed: Woodturning - Beginner's Platter and Bowl Turning

"Great welcoming atmosphere from the moment the door opened. Well equipped workshop and excellent tuition from Paul. Instruction were clear, precise and easy to follow. Paul has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Safety equipment and wear along with all materials and tools provided for a perfect day. Lashings of tea and coffee provided throughout the day and we sat down to a lovely lunch. Went home very happy with two items made during the day. Great experience and highly recommended, I’ve already signed up for another day with Paul."

Paul Hannaby Creative Woodturning responded:

"Thanks Chris, looking forward to the next one."

Dave Chapman reviewed: Woodturning - Beginner's Platter and Bowl Turning

"For a novice I was absolutely delighted with the plate and bowl I had made by the end of the day. None too shabby even if I do say so myself!! Paul walked us through the process with skill and patience and helped us correct our errors to ensure we have something to be proud of at the end of the day. Thanks, Paul."

Paul Hannaby Creative Woodturning responded:

"Thanks for the feedback Dave. I'm glad you enjoyed the day."

Rob reviewed: Woodturning - Beginner's Platter and Bowl Turning

"I really enjoyed the day. Paul has a vast font of knowledge and skill, and is excellent at passing it on. Clear instruction at each part of the process. We had a big gap in experience levels of the people on the course, which Paul managed very well. Would recommend this course for anyone who wants a taster of wood turning"

Paul Hannaby Creative Woodturning responded:

"I'm glad you enjoyed the day. It was good to see you overcoming the challenges and finishing with some nice pieces to take home "
